/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ The field of neurotechnology, the focus of this blog, encompasses advances in brain science (neurons), information technology (bits) and bioengineering (genes). Up for discussion and analysis: the political, economic, ethical, and social forces that will shape the future of what will be one of the most important and fascinating stories of the coming decades. en-us zack@neuroinsights.com 2006-05-26T10:18:18-05:00 hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00+00:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2006/05/26/human_on_a_chip_technology.php You've heard of "lab-on-a-chip" but what about "human-on-a-chip" technology. Cornell University scientists have created a microchip containing cells of human organ tissues they believe can substitute for using animals to test drugs. The "human-on-a-chip" mimics the body's physiology and is... 58766@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2006-05-26T10:18:18-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2004/08/15/your_genome_on_an_ipod_but_not_your_brain.php Up to now the biggest numbers game in biology had been run by the publicly financed Human Genome Project, which sequenced each of the three billion letters in the DNA code for a human being. "I know a neuroscientist who... 4276@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2004-08-15T18:17:31-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2004/06/25/the_answer_is_in_your_blood_part_2.php This week's Science also has an interesting proteomics tid-bit, titled, "Written in the Blood." The piece confirms the diagnostic potential of blood. "Blood teems with telltale proteins that can reveal incipient prostate cancer, for example, and help show whether a... 4240@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2004-06-25T14:42:52-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2003/11/20/biochip_advances.php As I mentioned in Biochips, Brain Imaging and Behavior, further advances in biochips will be needed before effective neuroceuticals can be developed. Most importantly, no technology exists today to analyze proteins in an inexpensive and reliable manner. FuturePundit's Biotech Advance... 4059@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2003-11-20T15:24:57-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2003/06/19/broad_support_for_y_men_are_men.php 3943@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2003-06-19T12:41:31-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2003/06/18/faster_than_a_speeding_gene.php 3942@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2003-06-18T17:30:20-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2003/04/16/what_is_a_gene_really.php 3897@/home/corante/public_html/brainwaves/ Protein/Gene Chips 2003-04-16T13:27:33-05:00 http://brainwaves.corante.com/archives/2003/04/08/evolution_is_a_fact.php Other than my concern that Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome may eventually overtake depression as the leading global mental health problem, Richard Gayle's blog today on evolution tops my list of memes that deserve repeating.
